“I’ve got what you need!”

Greetings! You’ve just found your way to the doorstep of Azeroth’s foremost gadget genius! Using a revolutionary new Goblin technology (I call it “Examell”! Patent pending.), I’ve built a warehouse of amazing gadgets to enhance the productivity of any adventurer. From automated pet minders to reputation building aids, I’ve got it all!

In these postings you’ll find instructions for how to obtain and use these fantastic inventions; follow the menu to your right detailed info on each item, or look below for the latest updates.

LATEST RELEASES

Disenchant Predictor 2.0

December 4th, 2006
  • Updated for compatibility with WoW 2.0 (and the Burning Crusade Closed Beta).
  • We now print a line to the chat window when you begin disenchanting an item, making it easier to follow which reagents came from where when discenchanting many items.
  • We also track whether a disenchant comes out as predicted, and print an error message in the chat window if we see a reagent we weren’t expecting (with diagnostic info and a request to contact us so we can improve prediction in future releases).
  • Redesigned the prediction algorithms to use an item’s own level (a statistic not visible in the default UI, but now available to addons) rather than the required level to equip it. This means:
    • We now have more accurate predictions for Burning Crusade high-level items (which include greens of required level 57-60 whose item levels are 80-90, and thus disenchant differently than old level 57-60 greens).
    • We can now predict disenchants for quest rewards or other items which have no level requirement.
  • Streamlined some older code for better efficiency.
  • WoW 2.0 now adds a line to the tooltip showing the required enchanting skill to disenchant an item, or that it’s not disenchantable at all — we catch this now and won’t display predictions for an item once we’ve learned it can’t be disenchanted.
  • NOTE: Predictions for Burning Crusade items/reagents are still tentative based on what data we’ve acquired so far. If you see an item disenchant into something that didn’t match our predictions, please let us know!

AdSpace 2.0

December 4th, 2006
  • Updated for compatibility with WoW 2.0 (and the Burning Crusade Closed Beta).
  • NOTE: AdSpace works on the BC beta, but does not yet provide info on expansion content — as such content is still subject to change.

Enchant Seller Discontinued

December 2nd, 2006

So, it turns out that my handful of investors and employees who pursue Enchanting never really spent much time trying to make money from the profession… and thus, this product never saw much use within Fizzwidget Industries. It’s hard to make a product competitive if one isn’t using it oneself, and even harder if one’s also trying to juggle several other projects. Since WoW 2.0 and the Burning Crusade require substantial changes to all addons, this is a good time to declare Enchant Seller officially discontinued.

Old versions will continue to be available from here in case other addon authors find the source code useful; see the older release notes listings for download links.

AutoCraft Discontinued

December 2nd, 2006

The key functionality behind AutoCraft was broken in WoW Patch 1.10, and it’s even more so in WoW Patch 2.0 and The Burning Crusade… so I don’t find it very worthwhile to continue maintenance of this product. Old versions will continue to be available from here in case other addon authors find the source code useful; see the older release notes listings for download links.

For a different approach to the same concepts that’s still being supported, seek out “Advanced TradeSkill Window” at any of the major WoW Addon websites.

Levelator 2.0 beta 2

November 14th, 2006
  • Quest levels in the questgiver dialogs now work on WoW 1.12 (live) as well as 2.0 (PTR or BC Beta).
  • Fixed some issues with mis-labeled or out-of-order buttons in questgiver dialogs.

Levelator 2.0 beta 1

November 10th, 2006

Initial release. (The TOC version is for the Burning Crusade beta, but it’ll work on 1.12 live realms, too.) See Levelator main page for details.

Feed-O-Matic 11200.2

October 27th, 2006
  • Now always prefers conjured foods if available when feeding a pet that can eat them. (This was supposed to have been the case before, but the implementation turned out to be unreliable.)
  • Fixed some issues which could result in Feed-O-Matic feeding the pet a food you’d told it to avoid, even if the “fall back” option was turned off. Also, a clearer error message is given if “fall back” is off and we can’t find any allowed foods.
  • The various reminder options for when your pet needs feeding (flashing the happiness icon, text messages, sounds) are now suppressed while you or your pet is in combat or if your pet is dead.
  • Feed-O-Matic posts its own error message if you attempt use it to feed your pet while in combat. (Instead of trying to feed the pet anyway, causing WoW itself to post an error message.)
  • Added a number of items to the default foods list (including some holiday treats and the new level 55 mage-conjured bread).

Fizzwidget Addons in the Burning Crusade Beta

October 26th, 2006

The upcoming expansion and accompanying WoW 2.0 patch will change much in the world of Addons… but fear not for your favorite Fizzwidget Industries products! I’ve had my lackeys hard at work updating and rebuilding our gizmos to continue serving you well, in Azeroth and beyond.

To keep beta feedback nicely organized, we’re posting BC Beta versions of our products at WoWInterface as they become ready for testing. If you’re in the Burning Crusade Closed Beta, get your updates there — and please let us know if you run into any issues!
